l2fwd_fork relies on a multiprocess model that that DPDK does not support (calling rte_eal_init() before fork()), in particular in light of recent EAL changes like the multiproess communication channel. This example can mislead users into thinking this is a supported multiprocess model; hence, this commit removes this example and the corresponding user guide documentation as well.

Certainly, will do. Thanks, Gage
